Our prediction for this MLS match:
Bank of America Stadium will host a clash between Charlotte and Montreal. Following five straight victories, Charlotte fell to a 2-0 defeat at New York City, but The Crown remain firmly in the playoff picture and are eager to bounce back in front of their own fans. Their home form has been particularly impressive, and with Harry Toffolo the only absentee, they will fancy their chances of cementing a top-four spot in the Eastern Conference.
Montreal, meanwhile, look like a side already waiting for the season to end. The Canadians sit bottom of the standings after back-to-back defeats against St. Louis City and New York Red Bulls, and with no playoff hopes, motivation is a real concern. Their defensive record remains worrying, while Albania international Giacomo Vrioni is sidelined through injury, further limiting their attacking options. Given the contrasting forms and ambitions, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.
